To connect multiple domestic properties like a new housing development or a business, it's a slightly different process.
Connecting multiple homes or business is just as easy!
If you'll be using large amounts of gas, we may need more information from you about the how much gas you're likely to use, and when you'll be using it. To make sure we get it right, we might also need to carry out a feasibility or design study. This will help us come up with the best cost option for you.
How much will it cost?
Design fee
When you request a quote to connect businesses and multiple homes to the gas network, you will be charged a design fee of between £249 and £831 – dependent on your expected gas demand/usage. This reflects the amount of work required to produce detailed design plans.
Connection cost
When you’ve paid the design fee, we’ll give you a quote that is valid for 90 days. If you’re happy with the price, we’ll need payment as soon as possible, and we’ll contact you within twelve working days to arrange the work. We aim to finish the work and have you on gas within eight weeks of you paying for it.
While each connection is slightly different, the costs below are standard for new housing developments with us digging up to 20m on public land and you digging the necessary trenches on your land.
- 3-10 homes: £1,253 per home excluding VAT
- 11-100 homes: £991 per home excluding VAT
Remember we don't install gas meters - you'll have to arrange that with a gas supplier. Once you've paid for your connection, we will give you a Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN) so you can arrange this.
